We chose to go to a resort in Barbados for our honeymoon as we wanted to relax and do something that we never had before. It was two weeks of sheer luxury, and we loved every minute and would go back in a heartbeat. Our top tip for any couple would be to go with the flow, as not everything is going to go to plan on the day. We booked the team at Michelle G Makeup Artistry to do makeup for myself and the bridal party, however, two days before the wedding our hairdresser became sick with covid. Michelle stepped in straight away, and her team helped keep everyone calm on the morning too. The dogs walking down the aisle with the bridesmaids had a great response from our guests. 26
